Master of Science - Computer Science

From April 2023 to about June 2025 I am studying computer science at the Leibniz Universität Hannover in Hannover. My studies are focused on low level software and hardware development and design.

Thesis

Redesign and Optimization of the Floating Point Unit of a RISC-V Processor for Enhanced Synthesis and Integration in a High-Temperature Environment. The thesis mainly focuses on:

• Fast floating-point execution units
• Pipelining by retiming registers
• Verification by testing against existent FPUs

Notable Courses up until now

• Architectures for Digital Signal Processing
• Design of Integrated Digital Circuits
• Application-Specific Instruction-Set Processors
• FPGA Design
• Operating System Construction for Multicore Platforms
• Operating System Lab

Bachelor of Science - Computer Science

From September 2019 to March 2023 is studied computer science at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität in Kiel. I finished by bachelor's degree with a grade of 1.9 .

Thesis

As a resreach assistant and as part of my bachelor thesis I worked on the HybridGWAIS software suite. The software helps researches at the Christian-Albrechts-University by allowing for large-scale interaction studies on the human genome. Rapid testing is enabled by utilizing several computing nodes consisting of multiple CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs even. My goal was to implement MB-MDR testing and testing on datasets with estimated (continuous) genotype data as HybridGWAIS did not support these features. I managed to accelerate testing by up to 43 times in certain scenarios by using the Tensor-Cores of the Nvidia GPUs. At the time HybridGWAIS was the fastest test suite availabe for interaction testing, though this might have changed since then.

My thesis called "Parallel Algorithms for genome-wide interaction studies with estimated genotypes" is available here. My work was graded with 1.0 .
